Arsenal No Longer Alone In Race For Serge Aurier’s Signature

Arsenal No Longer Alone In Race For Serge Aurier’s Signature

Serge Aurier who is considered the perfect replacement for Sagna, could balk at Arsenal’s future offer and go a different way. The 21 year old is one of the most sought after right-backs in European football as several teams are pursuing him. According to the Daily Mail, Toulouse are willing to let their star player leave as long as their financial expectations are met. It is well know that Wenger has the habit of moving very slowly when it comes to transfers. This might cost the Frenchman yet another top player who is currently available for about £7million which is a bargain.

The Ivorian is a great overall defender who can also perform in front of the goalkeeper. He is versatile and strong which is exactly what Arsenal need. One other great characteristic that helps this player is his impeccable health. He was never injured despite being a team regular for Toulouse.


The fans will just have to wait and see what happens after the World Cup in Brazil. As Wenger pointed out, there is not much activity before such competitions which could increase or possibly (but unlikely) lower the prices of possible transfer targets. Even so, hopes are high when it comes to Aurier who was seen taking a picture with an Arsenal fan during his last training session with his national team.
